Enabling Secure Intra-Array Communication
This section describes the changes since the SGD version 4.40 release.
This section includes the following topics:
The commands used to control the SGD server and the SGD web server have been changed.
The following commands for stopping, starting, and restarting the SGD web server have been deprecated:
tarantella webserver start
tarantella webserver stop
tarantella webserver restart
These commands are now implemented as subcommands for the tarantella start, tarantella stop, and tarantella restart commands.
In previous releases, the tarantella start, tarantella stop, and tarantella restart commands controlled the SGD server. By default, these commands now control the SGD server and the SGD web server.
New subcommands to the tarantella start, tarantella stop, and tarantella restart commands enable you to choose to start, stop, or restart either the SGD server or one or more components of the SGD web server.
The following table summarises the main command-line changes.

See the Oracle Secure Global Desktop 4.6 Administration Guide for more detailed information about the revised commands.
The SGD web server Welcome page now includes a My Desktop link. The SGD web server Welcome page is at http://server.example.com, where server.example.com is the name of an SGD server.
The My Desktop link enables users to log in and display a full-screen desktop, without displaying a webtop. See the Oracle Secure Global Desktop 4.6 Administration Guide for more details.
Using the My Desktop link is an alternative to specifying the My Desktop URL. The My Desktop URL is http://server.example.com/sgd/mydesktop.
The --array and --server options have been deprecated for the tarantella security start and tarantella security stop commands.
This means that the tarantella security start and tarantella security stop commands can only be used to configure security for the SGD server where the command is run.
If there are problems with the array, the tarantella status command now returns more detailed information about the array configuration. This information can be used to diagnose and fix array problems.
In previous releases, enabling secure intra-array communication for an array was done by running a tarantella array join command on the secondary SGD server joining the array.
In the SGD 4.41 release, if you are using secure intra-array communication, the tarantella array join command must be run from the primary SGD server in the array.
In the SGD 4.41 release, you can generate a new certificate signing request (CSR) without affecting your current SGD server certificate.
This enables you to replace an SGD server certificate, for example because the original certificate is about to expire.
When you use the tarantella security certrequest command to generate a CSR, the private key is now stored in the /opt/tarantella/var/tsp/key.pending.pem file.
The performance of the tarantella array commands has been improved. Configuring arrays of SGD servers is now a quicker process, compared to previous releases.
